It requires Loopy's PowerPak hacked FDS BIOS. I included a disksys.xdelta patch in the release directory that should work on the original BIOS to create the PowerPak version (CRC32 before patch=5E607DCF, after patch=68D2D988).

I've spent the afternoon playing with the NES core with the added FirebrandX colour palettes and FDS games. Very impressive stuff, especially when added in the VCR6 sound for the Japanese Castlevania 3. I'm seriously considering cashing in on my NT Mini

@GreyRogue - while trying various things out I've come across two games that I can't make work, namely Lagrange Point & Tiny Toon Adventures 2 (both Japanese). Both of these games make use of Konami's VCR7 sound expansion. Is this implemented in the Nes core?

There are a couple of issues I Have noticed with the latest and FANTASTIC release build:

-Zeruda no densetsu, the japanese FDS version of Zelda, is behaving strangely.It's skipping the tittle screen very fast, without any button to be pressed, and tittle music does not sound right: FDS audio channel sounds wrong on the vibrato effect. It's easy to spot.-Mario All Stars hack is missing the crowd screams on the tittle screen when the character pass by.https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2422/

I just played the first two levels of Super Mario Bros (same CRC32) with the latest core at 15 kHz and didn't experience any problems.

That's strange. I completly power cycled the MISTer now. Checked the Hashsum (its okay as you already confirmed).Newest MISTer binary (maybe there is a problem?, haven't tested further yet). And still corruption and completly not playable.Directly visible in Demo mode, I even don't have to play.

After deleting the .map and .cfg files for NES everything is working normal now! (PF and SMB)

Even overwriting the settings (which I did before) was not helping.I think it's a good idea to delete the configs for the cores which have new options and it may be a good info for FAQ or just to know.

Somebody requested Holy Diver, so I've added support for mapper 78.Note the other mapper 78 game, Uchuusen Cosmo Carrier, requires a NES 2.0 header to work correctly.Code is in my latest commit.

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue... While I can get my USB controllers (which consist of a Mayflash PS2 adapter, an 8bitdo SN30 Pro, and a Generic Saturn-knock-off USB) to work in any other core, I can't get them to work with most games on the NES core. The keyboard inputs respond.The only games I have been able to work (out of what I have tried so far) are Contra and Life Force. Games that do not respond to my USB controllers are ones like Astyanax, Super Mario 2 and 3, Legend of Zelda, Shadowgate, Gradius...Is this a known issue or am I the only one? The only thing I havent tried is a different USB hub, but I have doubts as all other cores work.

I cannot get the roms to play in the NES core. After I select the core, I push f12 to get the menu and select a rom. After the rom is selected I get screen resolutions displayed in the upper left corner and a black screen. The rom never starts. I am using rom packs from smokemonster. Other cores and roms work OK. Can someone point me in the right direction to start troubleshooting?
